In 2007, the Corston Report recommended a far-reaching, radical,
'women-centred' approach to women's imprisonment in England and
Wales. It suggested a 'fundamental re-thinking' about how services
to support women in conflict with the law are delivered in custody
and in the community, recommending the development and
implementation of a decarceration strategy. This argued for
appropriate treatment programmes in the community, reserving prison
for only those women who commit serious and violent offences. Ten
years on, what progress has been made? What is the relationship
between Corston's vision and a more radical abolitionist agenda?
Drawing on a range of international scholarship, this book
contributes to the critical discourse on the penal system, human
rights, and social injustice, revealing the consequences of
imprisonment on the lives of women and their families. A decade on
from Corston's publication, it critically reviews her report,
revealing the slow progress in meeting the reforms it proposed.
Identifying the significant barriers to change, it questions the
failure to reverse the unrelenting growth of the women's prison
population or to transform state responses to women's offending.
Reflecting the global expansion of women's imprisonment,
particularly marked in advanced democratic societies, the chapters
include comparative contributions from jurisdictions where
Corston's recommendations have relevance. It concludes with a
critical appraisal of reformism and the case for penal abolition.
Essential for applied and theory courses on prisons, punishment,
and penology; social justice and the criminology of human rights;
gender and crime; and feminist criminology.
A fast-paced art thriller in the spirit of Gabriel Allon from the
Daniel Silva thriller series and Laura Dave's The Last Thing He
Told Me. Ally Blake risks everything to exhibit at an art fair in
Bogotá in 1990. She needs to meet wealthy collectors to boost her
gallery's sales and save her family from bankruptcy. When she
discovers her art crates have been tampered with and two paintings
worth millions--that do not belong to her gallery--have been placed
inside, her plans unravel. Chief among her problems is US Political
Attaché David Martinez, an ex-boyfriend and former colleague from
her posting with the State Department in Santiago. He attempts to
drag her into a scheme to sell paintings seized from drug lords at
an art auction and use the proceeds to fund a war Congress will not
approve. Ally refuses. She devises a strategy to thwart their
fraud, protect her children, and secure her family's future--but
pulling it off will require her to make the art deal of a lifetime.

Global support for improving child welfare and upholding the rights
of children is strong, but in practice often fails to recognise the
emerging gap between traditional child welfare practices and the
evolving nature of child vulnerability. This book takes an
international perspective on child welfare, examining how global
and national frameworks can be adapted to address the rights and
best interests of children. Synthesising the latest international
research, experts redefine the concept of a 'child in need' in a
world where global movement is common and children are frequently
involved in the law. The book considers children as citizens, as
refugees, victims of trafficking, soldiers, or members of
indigenous groups and identifies the political and cultural changes
that need to take place in order to deliver rights for these
children. Focusing in particular on child protection systems across
nations, it identifies areas of child welfare and family law which
systematically fail to look after the best interests of children,
often through prejudice, outdated practice, or even the failure of
agencies to work together. Exploring the nexus between children's
rights and the law across the globe, this book makes essential
reading for policymakers, social workers, lawyers, researchers and
professionals involved in protecting vulnerable children.
When diagnosed with Stage IV kidney cancer, LTC (Ret) Michael Lee
Lanning faced a new and fearsome enemy that the doctors said would
kill him in 6-18 months. Instead of accepting this as his fate,
Lanning, with the help of his wife Linda, pursued strategies--both
conventional and alternative--to battle his disease and fight for
his life. This book tracks the Lannings' war with cancer from
diagnosis to survival, from exploring traditional treatments at M.
D. Anderson Cancer Center to transitioning to a raw vegan lifestyle
learned at Hippocrates Health Institute, from enduring the depths
of despair to embracing the heights of hope. Their experiences and
insights shared here is the information they sought for themselves
when Lanning was first diagnosed.
This is my tenth book about Al-the-Gator and his friends in South
Texas where I collected, studied and released over 200 alligators
up to 650 pounds. It is most unusual for a children's author to
have studied many of the animals in his or her books, but I have
done so.
